... 116 Summary of Durability Evaluation Methods 1.0 Introduction This appendix summarizes the most commonly accepted independent (i.e., not published by a pipe trade organization) quantitative service life calculation methods for concrete and metal pipes.
From page 117...
... 117 where: EMSL = estimated material service life (years) pH = pH of the water Slope = pipe invert slope (%)
From page 119...
... 119 3.0 Metal Pipe Methods The design service life of corrugated metal pipes will normally be the period in years from installation until deterioration reaches the point of either perforation of any point on the culvert or some specified percent of metal loss. Different methods used to estimate service life use different definitions of service life.

... 128 Each material type with a quantitative estimation method will be analyzed for three different example cases; namely, an aggressive case, a moderate case, and a non-aggressive case. The three different cases differ in the assumed environmental parameters, as indicated below in Table 9.
From page 129...
... 129 4.3 Aggressive Case Table 13 contains results obtained by using the aforementioned equations and charts to estimate material service life for the aggressive case. 4.4 Discussion of Results A number of observations can be made based on these results: • There is a wide variety in the EMSL values for different pipe types.
